Big Tune

It's the weekend, first in June;
speaker's blasting out big tune!
Cousins, aunties, uncles, friends,
pack the house and fun begins.

Shane is shy, but loves to dance-
and all year long, he's picked up cans
to earn some money toward his goal:
high-tops with a pump-up sole.

But then the speaker blows-it's done!
Will this stop his family's fun?
Can Shane come through to save the day
and bring back Big Tune Saturday?

Set a vibrant Caribbean-American neighbourhood and told to a rhythmic beat, Big Tune is a story of Black-boy joy that touches on determination, the confidence to express who you are, selflessness, and community gratitude.
